Jeff has 4 red pens and 2 blue pens in his backpack. He also has 1 yellow highlighter and 4 green highlighters in his
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

\frac{1}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability,

"AND" means "multiplication"

"OR" means "ADDITION"

We want probability of Blue Pen and Yellow Highlighter. So we find individual probabilities and "MULTIPLY" them.

Let P(b) be probability of blue pen

Let P(y) be probability of yellow highlighter

We know probability of event is that event divided by total number of that

So,

There are 4 + 2 = 6 pens

Blue pen = 2

Hence,

P(b) = 2/6 = 1/3

And,

There are 5 highlighters

Yellow highlighter = 1

Hence,

P(y) = 1/5

Now,

P(b and y) = 1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15

Hence,

probability of grabbing blue pen and a yellow highlighter is  \frac{1}{15}
